Chapter 95: The War of the Immortal Cloud Continent, Part 5
In the void that had always been quiet, the peace was suddenly shattered by the sound of a terrifying scream. The source of this scream came from a unique space within the void, where a man in black, Jiang Yun, was strangling a glowing figure. That glowing figure was none other than the Heavenly Dao of the Tianyuan world.
Jiang Yun wore a terrifying smile on his face as he thrust the Void Blade repeatedly into the glowing figure. The Heavenly Dao's scream was chilling as it cried out, "What have you done to me? Why can't I use my powers?"
Jiang Yun merely smiled and ignored the question. He looked at the trembling figure in his grasp, a being that once acted mighty and invincible but was now reduced to something insignificant in his hands. The once-booming laughter of the Heavenly Dao had vanished, and it was clear that it would never laugh again.
"Why aren't you laughing now?" Jiang Yun's voice was cold, piercing through the air like a blade to the soul.
There was no response, only more screams. "Aaaaarghhhhhh!"
At the same time, the system's voice echoed continuously in Jiang Yun's mind.
[Congratulations, host, you have earned 1,000 trillion villain points.]
[Congratulations, host, you have earned 1,000 trillion villain points.]
[Congratulations, host, you have earned 1,000 trillion villain points.]
The notifications echoed endlessly, as if they were a fanfare of victory. The glowing figure, once full of arrogance, realized that it was completely powerless against Jiang Yun. It could not even use its powers, so it screamed in desperation, "You damn brat! Let me go! Aren't you afraid the Universal Dao will kill you? Aaaaaaargh!"
[Congratulations, host, you have earned 1,000 trillion villain points.]
Jiang Yun still did not respond. Soon, the glowing figure's voice changed, pleading for mercy. "Master Jiang Yun... Please, I beg you, let me go! Aaaaarghhh!"
The glowing figure struggled violently, but Jiang Yun showed no sign of relenting.
[Congratulations, host, you have earned 1,000 trillion villain points.]
In a desperate attempt to survive, the glowing figure transformed itself into Feng Yi and used her voice to plead, "Jiang Yun, would you really kill me?" But Jiang Yun remained unmoved, as the system's voice continued to echo in his mind.
[Congratulations, host, you have earned 1,000 trillion villain points.]
[Congratulations, host, you have earned 1,000 trillion villain points.]
[Congratulations, host, you have earned 1,000 trillion villain points.]
The figure in Jiang Yun's hand began shifting into many familiar faces—Mu Shuyuan, Chang Qian, Chang Ming, Lin Qingyi, and many others he had known throughout his life. Each face changed in an attempt to evoke some sense of mercy from him, hoping it would allow the Heavenly Dao to use its powers again. But Jiang Yun remained cold, his expression unchanged, and his eyes filled with nothing but emptiness.
Suddenly, the glowing figure changed into Yang Hao, Jiang Yun's childhood friend. The familiar voice pleaded, "Jiang Yun, please..."
For a brief moment, Jiang Yun's eyes wavered, a flicker of emotion passed over his face, but it was only for a second. Realizing it wasn't enough, the figure morphed into Lan Fang, someone who had once been the most important person in Jiang Yun's past. Her tearful voice whispered, "Jiang Yun, I'm in so much pain..."
The sound was as sharp as the memories Jiang Yun had tried to bury. But instead of stirring compassion, it ignited a deep-seated rage within him. The cold smile on his face disappeared. His hand tightened around the glowing figure's throat, and the system notifications continued to ring in his mind, melding with the agonized screams of the Heavenly Dao.
"Aaaaaaargh! Let me go!"
[Congratulations, host, you have earned 1,000 trillion villain points.]
[Congratulations, host, you have earned 1,000 trillion villain points.]
[Congratulations, host, you have earned 1,000 trillion villain points.]
"Aaaaargh! I'm sorry, Master Jiang Yun!"
[Congratulations, host, you have earned 1,000 trillion villain points.]
.....
.....
.....
[Congratulations, host, you have earned 1,000 trillion villain points.]
The system's voice continued endlessly, echoing the fury that surged within Jiang Yun. His eyes were cold, and his grip on the glowing figure grew tighter, almost to the point of obliterating it completely.
When the notifications finally stopped, Jiang Yun didn't even glance at the points he had accumulated. He commanded in an icy tone, "System, upgrade yourself to level 4."
The system responded instantly, with a tone that was more serious than ever, knowing full well the wrath that burned in its master's heart. It didn't dare joke around this time.
[Understood, host.]
Jiang Yun looked at the glowing figure struggling in his hand and spoke with a voice as cold as ice, piercing to the bone.
"I hope your life from now on is filled with happiness..."
The glowing figure began to tremble in fear, screaming in desperation, "No! Please! Let me go!" But there was no hope left for it. Its once mocking laughter was replaced by despair and pleas for mercy. Jiang Yun stared at it with cold eyes before the glowing figure was swallowed into the void.
At that moment, Jiang Yun was attacked by a powerful force. He dodged it and smiled slightly before his body vanished into the void, as if he wasn't concerned with the attack at all.
Back in the Tianyuan world, the atmosphere was heavy with pressure and confusion. The Phoenix Dynasty forces were left in shock by the presence of 100,000 Immortal Emperors gathered before them, creating an overwhelming sense of dread. However, Feng Yi stood calmly, showing no sign of fear. As various races began their assault without hesitation, the tension only grew.
Suddenly, the power of the Heavenly Dao within every race was abruptly severed, as if it had vanished in an instant. The Tianyuan world was immediately sealed, causing shock among the races. Some of the weaker races panicked and attempted to flee, while the stronger ones paid no mind to the loss of power from the Heavenly Dao of Tianyuan and pressed on with their attack.
But what they did not expect was the sudden emergence of deathly spiritual energy, transforming into a black flame phoenix that swooped down upon them. The overwhelming power consumed them all. Despite their best efforts to defend, many were instantly incinerated, their screams echoing across the battlefield. A member of the Heavenly Snake Clan cried out in shock, "Aren't you...aren't you dead, Feng Yang?"
Feng Yang gave no response. Instead, a massive flower-shaped sword wave mercilessly targeted the various races. A giant from the Giant Clan was dumbstruck, "Yong Xuan isn't dead either? How is this possible? Your soul was confirmed to have dissipated!"
The situation quickly spiraled into chaos as those believed to be dead, including Feng Yang, Yong Xuan, Wen Jie, Tian Lian, and the commanders of the Phoenix Immortal Dynasty, along with the Eternal Phoenix Army and many others who had perished in battle, all reappeared. They walked out of the void with their power restored to its peak, causing even the strongest of races to feel a slight pressure, though not yet fear.
For the weaker races, their reappearance turned an already tense situation into complete confusion, leaving no one from the various races knowing how this event would end.
Even the members of the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect were revived. Gongsun Lei emerged from the void, laughing loudly and boldly proclaiming, "You all better kill more enemies because I'm exhausted from killing so many by myself! Why am I the only one slaying enemies across the battlefield?"
Wang He, standing nearby, retorted immediately, "Aren't you ashamed of your own words? You always wait to steal the final blow when enemies are weakened or use us as bait to ambush them!"
At that moment, Chen Wei and Gao Yuan arrived with Shen Lang and Sa Ying. Mu Shuyuan asked curiously, "Where have you all been for so long?"
Chen Wei smiled slightly before pulling out a sound recording stone and playing it. It echoed with Gao Yuan's voice, laughing and saying, "Hmph...Mu Shuyuan and Gongsun Lei? One's attached to his mother, and the other's attached to his son. What can they do to me?"
Chen Wei added seriously, "I found a traitor."
Gao Yuan pulled out his own sound recording stone and played it for all to hear, "Those light and shadow brothers? All they do is draw pictures all day, then come asking me if it's beautiful. I had to lie and say it was, but honestly, I have no idea what they're drawing!"
Wang He and Wang Bai glared at Gao Yuan furiously. Startled, Gao Yuan quickly switched to another recording, "Lord Gongsun Lei is a valiant warrior who faces his enemies without fear every time, and Lord Mu Shuyuan..."
Before the next words could play, Gao Yuan's body turned to jade in an instant, leaving everyone in shock.
Long Wei walked over, holding the cold body of Long Teng, and spoke sorrowfully yet with a glimmer of hope, "My dear son-in-law, would you prefer a simple wedding or a grand one?"
The tension among the races heightened, but suddenly, Pa Zhi spoke with a stern voice, "Enough! Stop talking! Go prepare the meals before the sect master returns!"
Just then, a member of the Earth Rat Clan laughed mockingly, "Meals? You think too highly of yourselves, don't you?"
Before it could finish speaking, its head was severed from its body. Amidst the astonishment, countless swords and spears descended upon the various races mercilessly, igniting the battle once more.
Gongsun Lei spoke, "Those swords and spears two brothers...when we asked them to follow the sect's plan, they pretended to die, and they couldn't even fake it convincingly!"
Ming Hai teased, "Exactly! One was asleep the whole meeting, and the other couldn't stop eating the entire time!"
As their laughter faded, the members of the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect launched into combat again. Feng Yi, having fully recovered along with her seven sword slaves who had been resurrected, stood gracefully and commanded, "Kill them all! Don't let a single one escape!"
With her order, the sixteen heavenly armies roared fiercely and charged into the battlefield with fury. The brutal war of slaughter had begun once again, and on the Tianyuan world, no one could escape the death that followed!
